Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham

My daughter was so nervous to start nursery after turning 3 in September, especially after such a long time of not seeing other children during lockdown. All of the staff have been fantastic, they have comforted her and made her feel safe, after just a few weeks, she has already made new friends and there are no more tears, I am confident that soon she’ll be running to go in the door.
Couldn’t have asked for a better team than the staff here.

My son joined Monkey Puzzle Eltham in February 2020, for a couple of days a week, in the baby room. He struggled to settle in at first but as we started to turn a corner the pandemic hit. After being at home for 3 months, I was anxious about him returning, however, the staff at Monkey Puzzle were ever so helpful and reassuring and together, we agreed he would return but move into the toddler room. Best decision ever. He came on in leaps and bounds within a matter of a few weeks, his key worker and other staff in the toddler room are fantastic and my son loves all of them. It’s so wonderful to watch him jump with excitement, as we arrive each morning. My son will soon be moving up to the pre-school room and as much as it is daunting, I’m really excited for him to make the move and to watch him grow in confidence. All the staff I’ve had interaction with, are polite and always happy to go above and beyond to help. A big thank you to Monkey Puzzle.

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Monkey Puzzle Eltham. My 2-year-old absolutely loves going to nursery, always full of smiles at drop off and pick up. I feel completely comfortable leaving him knowing he’s having lots of fun, learning lots and feels loved and cared for. Daily communication is always thorough, as are the periodic developmental reviews and monthly newsletters. The activities are fantastic, much more imaginative than we could do at home!
The staff are all warm and fun and clearly genuinely care for the children which is the most important thing in my opinion.

My daughter has been attending Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham since she was four months old. I planned on her attending for one year while I finished my degree but we fell in love with the nursery and my daughter blossomed so beautifully that she is still there now, almost three years later! We have had the best experience at Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham from the baby room, through to toddler and now up to preschool and my daughter absolutely loves it. Anytime she does feel anxious about attending nursery all the staff are really reassuring and encourage her to feel confident and comfortable. Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham always goes above and beyond to be accommodating and supportive to both myself and my daughter. The quality of care is excellent and the way the children are allowed to grow and explore is exactly what my daughter loves. She talks warmly about her teachers and friends at home and we truly couldn’t recommend Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery Eltham enough. A huge thank you to all staff and management for always showing such brilliant care.

Fantastic nursery! Our boy has been here since a baby. He receives excellent care and has a lot of fun whilst I am at work. It’s a fabulous setting with lovely staff, brilliant facilities, yummy meals and a whole range of planned activities to keep young children happy. I always enjoy finding out what he’s been up to on their helpful app – although now he’s old enough to tell me himself too!

My review refers to since my son started the nursery in February. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, accommodating and very proactive. I have emailed them several times and they have always been responsive and willing to help.
They have really settled my son well into nursery and have been really active and amazing with accommodating to his needs.
Well done Monkey Puzzle!

Where do I start with this nursery, Monkey Puzzle Eltham is by far the best nursery I have ever seen. Every single member of staff is the most experienced, caring, trustworthy group, from nursery teachers to cooks! You walk in, and it feels like a family! I love the fact I can drop my kids there and know they are getting as much love, care and attention as they would at home. This isn’t like your everyday nursery; they have a pet tortoise, stick insects, they hatch chickens and grow vegetables. Not only has my eldest left knowing how to spell his name, write his name, tell the time, every phonic, all his numbers,fe and life lessons I may not have been able to teach him. I could not have wished for better. Thank you, Monkey Puzzle Eltham.

My son has been attending Monkey Puzzle for just over two years now. He is leaving at the end of this month and starting big school in September. Since starting, he has come on leaps and bounds and absolutely loves all the girls at Monkey Puzzle. For me, the staff have been amazing throughout, and I could not fault them at all. They are a great bunch, and we will both miss them all dearly.

Great nursery. Friendly and professional staff. Regular updates in the form of photos and monthly newsletters.
Our boy has been there since baby room and has now graduated from the ‘big’ school – couldn’t have been happier with the care he received and the friendships he’s made.

My niece attends Monkey Puzzle Eltham 3 times a week and we couldn’t be happier with the staff and facilities provided to her, she is always so enthusiastic and excited on her days to attend which makes drop offs and pick ups a pleasure and never a dread. The online system is also great as I’m able to see what she’s up to during the day and all the fun activities she gets involved with. We couldn’t be happier.
